Jon and Kate Plus 8 must go on
One of the questions that came up during Jon and Kate's announcement of their divorce was, "What happens to Jon and Kate Plus 8?
The answer to that question was pretty obvious given that Jon and Kate decided to reveal an intimate moment not through a quiet written statement, but through a publicity stunt. Jon even lamented about how it was the "hardest episode ever" -- guess what, Jon, it didn't have to be an episode at all! Coupled with the fact that the tragic statement of the dissolution of their marriage was side-by-side with an infomercial for Crooked Houses (complete with the kids wearing t-shirts shilling for the company), and it's no surprise that Jon and Kate Plus 8 will continue.
And of course the TLC lawyers certainly had an influence.
On the continuation of the show, Jon said:
I'm still on the show, I guess, we interview separately, we'll film different things, me and the kids, her and the kids... It's day by day for me, I don't know what's going to happen, I could get offered a job, you know, that would change the whole schedule, I don't know.
Kate on the show:
How does the show go on, the show must go on? I will continue to be here, be with the kids, do the same things I've always done with them. I realize that Jon will probably not be a part of those, he may do his own thing.
While Jon and Kate may be contractually obligated to finish up Season 5, they're not on the hook to do a Season 6 -- it will be interesting to see if they sign up for that or not (or if TLC even offers it to them).
